EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history when a former Dutch sailor attempted to ransack the iconic painting by Rembrandt van Rijn, "The Night Round". The image, featured on the cover of "La Domenica del corriere" in January 1911, was illustrated by Achille Beltrame. In this powerful engraving, we witness the arrest of the malefactor as he is apprehended by authorities. The intensity of the scene is palpable as law enforcement officers surround him, ensuring that this audacious act does not go unpunished. "The Night Round", one of Rembrandt's most renowned works, has captivated art enthusiasts for centuries with its masterful use of light and shadow. This incident serves as a reminder of both the enduring allure and vulnerability of great masterpieces. Preserved in a private collection today, this historic photograph offers us a glimpse into an event that could have forever altered art history. It stands as a testament to human determination to protect our cultural heritage from those who seek to exploit it for personal gain. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and their commitment to sharing these historical treasures with audiences worldwide through Fine Art Finder, we can continue to appreciate and learn from moments like these that shape our understanding of art's significance throughout time.
